Richard Skolnik Enters Fourth Life: Teaching at Yale

December 2, 2014 in Notes

Richard Skolnik (BC), in his “fourth life” after 25 years at the World Bank, is very happily teaching at Yale. Asked to help Yale strengthen its global health program, Richard teaches an introductory global health course and an upper level global health seminar in the College. He also teaches global health courses at the School of Management and the School of Public Health. Richard has written a textbook, Global Health 101, which is very widely used in the US and overseas and going into its third edition. He and Sophia, who he met while on Yale-in-China in Hong Kong, celebrated their 40th anniversary during graduation weekend this year. They have two children, Aaron, a physician in Phoenix, and Rachel, like her dad, a global health professional. Rachel’s 3 year old, Isaac, gets all the attention, of course, and dresses much of the time in Yale garb.
